With great glee I tried updating to F9 but am very disappointed so have had to switch back to F8. I wonder if anyone else has had similar troubles. My main objection is that, to use Add/Remove Software F9 always goes onto the web for a mirror and this chews up connect time (for which I am charged through the nose after a certain limit has been passed). Hence, every time I hit a snag and have to re-install it costs me large amounts of connect time regardless of the fact that I am installing from a DVD. I find this excessively annoying. Also, many of the features of 9 seem to me to be worthless when compared to somewhat simpler versions of applications in F8. To get round the OOo version problem, I never install OpenOffice from the Fedora 8 disk but have kept a copy of the rpms and do the install from those after F8 is installed and I always then get the latest version. Does anyone know if it is possible to get ALL Fedora applications etc. (i.e. a complete repository) on DVD thus obviating the need to consume connect time?
